Hey all. I've decided that 2008 is going to be the year in which I radically improve my sales skills. Therefore I'm in the process of looking at what resources I can employ in reaching my goal. I'd love to hear which books, audio courses and live events you've found most helpful.

Also, to give a little context, the most important arena in which I'll be utilizing my sales skills will be in raising money for companies that I'm involved with. Prospecting isn't as a big of a deal since I pretty much know who the candidates are to fund the biz. The more important things are arousing interest in the other person and closing the sale.

Looking forward to hearing any suggestions!
